GLAZIERS TOOL.

Specification of Letters Patent.

, Patented Feb. 2, 1915.

Application filed November 15. 1913. Serial No. 801,231.

To all whom 'it may concern Be it known that I, CHARLES A. HAssLER, acitizen of the United States, residing at lVaynesboro, in the county ofFranklin and State of Pennsylvania, have invented cer` tain new anduseful Improvements in Gla- Ziers Tools, of which the following is aspecification', reference being had to the ac` companying drawings.

This invention relates to improvements in glaziers tools, and moreparticularly to tools for use in applying putty to the corners betweenthe sash frames and the glass.

An object of this invention is the provision of a tool of this charactercomprising a cylinder for the reception of putty, the cylinder having aplunger slidably disposed the cylinder also having a triangular mouth tpiece through which the putty is discharged and a blade extendingtherefrom so that the putty may be disposed in right angular corners asit is discharged from the tool.

With these and other objects in view, this invention consists in thenovel construction, combination and arrangement of parts to -behereinafter more fully described, claimed and illustrated in theaccompanying ydrawing, in which- Figure 1 is a side elevation of thetool; Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section showing the mouth piece in fulllines; Fig. 3 is a section on the line 3-3 of Fig. 2; Fig. 4 is an endview of the mouth piece; and Fig. 5 isa del tail sectional View taken ftransversely through the extension as herein embodied.

Referring more particularly to the drawing, the numeral l designates acylinder which is threaded externally as at 2 at one end and internallyas at 3, at the opposite end thereof. A cap 4 is threaded upon thethreads 2 of the cylinder, the cap being provided with a .centralopening 5 through which a plunger rod cylinder. One extremity of theplunger rod is threaded for the reception of the thumb screw 7 wherebythe plunger may be readily moved outwardly and inwardly cylinder. Theother end of the plunger rod is provided with a reduced threaded exten`sion upon which a plunger 8 is mounted, a nut 9 being threadedlyengagedon the plunger rod outwardly of the lunger to hold the plungery in itsadjusted) position upon the rod. A spiral spring 10 is disposed 6extends within thev of the around the plunger rod 6 one end of thespring bearing against the cap 4, and the opposite end of the springbearing against 'the plunger 8, to normally maintain the plunger in theouter end of the cylinder.

Mounted upon the lower end of the plunger rod 6 is a cup shaped washer 9and arranged between the cup shaped washer and the lnut 9 is a metalwasher 10" which is adapted to securely retain the central portion ofthe washer 9 in position. It will be readily understood that by havingthe edges of the washer 9 extending downwardly, the putty upon thedownward 1nove ment of the plunger will press against the edges of thewasher and spread the same out against the walls of the cylinder andthus prevent any of the putty from being formed back between the plungerand the inner wall of the cylinder. It will be apparent that withoutthis cup-shaped washer. there will be nothing to prevent the .putty frombeing forced back as the flexible outer l edge of the washer will spreadout and pre vent the putt \v from backingup any farther.

A mouth piece 11 is threadedly connected to the threads 3 in the outerend of the cylinder l, the mouth piece having a reduced tri-1 angularextension 12 extending longitudinally from one side thereof. The innerwall of the mouth piece 11 is tapered inwardly on one side as at 13, soas to guide the putty within the cylinder to the triangular opening 13in the extension 12. A blade 14 ex tends outwardly at an acute anglefrom one wall of the extension 12, they outer edge of the blade beingbeveled to provide a cutting edge 15. The extension 12 is provided uponone face thereof with a groove 12 having undercut side walls which formthe inwardly i extending flanges 14. Removably arranged within thisgroove and disposed beneath the inwardly extending flanges is the shankportion 15 of the blade 14. From this construction it will be readilyapparent that the blade may be quickly land readily .removed fromthe.extension 12 to be sharpened or for various other purposes,'as theinsertion of a new blade or the like. A transversely extending threadedopening 16 is formed in the cap 4, the opening 16 communicating with theopening 5 in the cap, and a set screw 17 is adjustably disposed in theopening 16, the head of the set screw Abeing adapted for engagement withthe peiriphery of the plunger rod 6 to hold the plunger in any desiredposition within the cylinder.

In the practical use of my device, the mouth piece 11 is removed fromthe outer end of the cylinder, and the plunger 8 is moved rearwardly ofthe cylinder against the action of the spring 10, the plunger being heldin such position by the engagement of the set screw 17 therewith. Thecylinder is then filled with putty or the like, and the mouth piece 11is again connected to the outer end of the cylinder whereupon thel thisposition, the set screw 17 may be disengaged from the plunger rod 6, sothat the plunger may move outwardly in the cylinder under the tension ofthe sprin 10 to force the putty out ofthe triangu ar eX- tension 12 ofthe mouth piece, and the tool maybe moved downwardly so that the puttyis fed at its proper place the entire length of the glass, whereupon theset screw 17 .may be engaged with the plunger rod 6 to stop the outwardmovement of the plunger. 'Ihe blade 14 presses the putty in its properposition as the tool is moved over the glass.

As'the free edge of the blade 14 is sharp-- cned, itl may be used to`dislodge any hardened putty from the window sash before the new glass isapplied thereto. The tension of the spring 1Q may be regulated byadjusting the plunger 8 upon the threaded extension 9 of the plungerrod, whereby the distance between the plunger 8 and the cap 4 againstwhich the opposite ends of the spring rest may be adjusted.

From the above description taken in connection with the accompanyingdrawings, Lit will be seen that I have provided a -tool for yapplyingputty to corners, the tool comprising a small number of parts which maybe readily taken apart, and one which will apply the putty tothe cornersand press it in position therein with one motion of the tool.

What I claim isf:

A tool of the character described comprising a cylinder, a cap connectedto one saidv plunger and said cap, a mouth piece detachably connected tothe other end of said cylinder, said mouth piece having an extenslontriangular in cross section, and a blade extending from said extensionat an acute angle, as and for the purpose described.

In testimony whereof I hereunto alix my
